Chapter 1: Why is there a condom crisis at the Winter Olympics?
For those who know that questioning everything includes questioning this show's existence. The Last Show with David Cooper. The Olympics. Are they a time for some of the world's best athletes to compete in the sports that they've been training so hard at? Or are they a time for people to get nasty? The Olympics or the O-O-Olympics. There's a lot of sex stuff going on out there.
And honestly, I'm not surprised. I'm joined by media personality, Caitlin Green. You can hear her on the Jan Arden podcast. Caitlin, first of all, welcome in. Second of all, sex at the Olympics? This is a story. This is a headline every single year. And it's because of the condoms that they give out in the Olympic Village.
And it's a lot of, think about it this way, very young, very fit people who are, you know, potentially wearing some version of a unitard or less. And I think that it kind of makes sense that they would all be like hooking up in their dorms. You can't say unitard on the radio. Look, think about it. It's young people, beautiful people, people at top peak physical fitness.
They got all, you know, and they work so hard all year. Finally, they're done their sport and they're just in a village with other like-minded people whose singular focus in life is their sport. All of a sudden, they've got the free time. All of a sudden, the event that they've been training for for four years is over. What do you think they're going to do in the Olympic Village?
Yeah, this happens all the time and it's happening right now in Milan. And the organizing committee had to release a statement saying that condom supplies in the Olympic Village were temporarily depleted due to higher than anticipated demand. And they said they would be constantly replenished until the end of the games.
So for context, during the opening ceremony, they distributed 10,000 condoms and the athletes had used them all that first weekend. They use them in five minutes. It's funny that they know that there's a high demand and yet still they exceeded that high demand, exceeds expectations. It's so funny to me that the Olympic Village is just like a wild party after it.
But if you're sports on the last day, that must suck for you because I feel like they don't party until they're done their event. Yeah, I think that's probably true. And also like, then there are always the athletes who like would avoid sexual activity before a competition or some people who would want to have sexual activity before a competition.
Like people, some athletes have talked openly about feeling like it actually affects their outcome and their performance. Oh boy. So, but I also wanted to note that I think this has something to do with the rabid hunt for merch amongst young people because the condoms were wrapped with the Milan Cortina Olympic logo.
So I actually think that if 10,000 condoms were quote unquote used, that 5,000 of those would have been kept just as a souvenir. So they should have just branded them with whatever condom brand. They shouldn't have passed out Olympic condoms because people, yeah, of course you want to take that home. Of course. Of course you're taking an Olympic condom home with you.

Chapter 2: What caused the Norwegian biathlete to apologize on live TV?
And so a director from Ireland posts this. He said, I made this video using a two sentence prompt. And it shows Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise fighting on like a crumbling rooftop. It's very Hollywood CGI world familiar, crumbling world all around them, like a moody sunsets in the background. And a lot of people thought, my God, this looks so damn good.
I think that the days for Hollywood writers specifically could be over. And that's what one of the writers from the Deadpool franchise said. He saw the clip and told outlets that it sent shivers up his spine.
Now, if you go to the thread, the Twitter thread where this was posted, if you actually scroll down and see what people replied to it, then the general population, the average user, started generating videos of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt using the same tool. And they all looked realistic. Like one was fighting someone who looked like the Michelin Man and a zombie. And they all looked just as real.
And I guess there's something about a Hollywood person generating a movie like that. But then when normal people started doing it, I don't know. I... I do think that the writers might be safer than actors. Like, you know, like good writing. I'm not sure AI is there yet, but a good generation of images and actors on screen.
Like the scary thing is you won't know the next Hollywood blockbuster you go to in the next three or four years. Like you won't know how much of it is like VFX, AI and real acting. It'll be some combination thereof.
Yeah so and that's the part that for me like my hot take when I saw this as well was that like I respect that one of the writers from Deadpool is concerned about this and it is worth noting that negotiations have just started again between studios and the Screen Actors Guild and they're going to include demands for guardrails on how and if studios could use actors likeness so expect someone like say Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise to have to copyright their own AI image right and then they
They could conceivably say, I don't want to do reshoots. You can use my AI. Like there are ways in which I could see this being used. But if you are the writer of Deadpool, I would counter, your movies were basically this anyways. Like they've been using CGI so much in the Marvel universe, in the summer box office takeover that has become the whole film industry.
That I am just like, are you surprised that this is the natural progression of things? That nobody who likes those movies is gonna care if it's Brad Pitt or his licensed AI. And I think that's sort of the problem. And being the person that I am, we're like, those movies don't do much for me. I'm much more of like an indie film person.
I am much more of like, I would rather see something by Paul Thomas Anderson than I would rather see something from, you know, DC comics. That's just me. So I'm like, I'm not surprised. I haven't been, my butt has not been in the theaters every summer for some time now. And it's because I really think that their movies already look like this anyways. Interesting.
